From four generations of family viticulture just north of Chablis in Burgundy, France, Domaine Jolly & Fils crafts its 2023 Petit Chablis on Portlandian limestone-rich plateau sites that give this entry-level Chardonnay vivid freshness and minerality. The winemaking sticks to stainless steel and lees ageing to preserve purity, yielding a pale yellow wine with bright citrus and waxy green fruit aromatics and a saline, oyster-shell-inflected backbone. On the palate it’s crisp and lively with notes of lemon, grapefruit and ripe apple, framed by Chablis’s signature chalky minerality and a clean, refreshing finish that overdelivers for its appellation.
